Forbid the use of some symbols in USERNAME

Hi all...
It came to my mind to put a code to forbid the use of some characters & symbols in members' usernames when they first register at my forums..

Sometimes usage of these characters & symbols leads to usernames like: .:*#juggler#*:. and so..

this code simply allow users to just register with Letters, Numbers and Space..

share your opinion :)

Salam..

You can just add whatever characters you don't want them to use in the vBulletin options. ;)

What would be nice is the ability to deny spaces in usernames at reg.

(Boofo: where can we specify characters? Is it the place we specify names?)

you can remove whatever characters u want..
to deny the usage of SPACE do the following:
open the plugin PHP Code,
then search for this piece of code

Code:

        if(!in_array(ord($chars[$i]),Array(32,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90,97,98,99,100,101,102,103,104,105,106,107,108,109,110,111,112,113,114,115,116,117,118,119,120,121,122,194,195,196,197,198,199,200,201,202,203,204,205,206,207,208,209,210,211,212,213,214,216,217,218,219,220,221,222,223,225,227,228,229,230,237)))

then remove the number "32" and the comma following it from the array ;)

Regards,

Boofo

That where I have it and you should be able to use the space code in there to not allow spaces too, I would think.

ghroob, if you weren't just pixels representing text on my screen, I might just kiss you.

@Boofo: You too...if you mean   or can tell me. :)

Where can we edit the symbols in vbulletin options?

Find the settings group(in vb otions) for: User Registration Options
Then find the setting for: Illegal User Names

Then just enter _ or * or any other charechter in there.

Thank you! this is exactly what I need. I would remove the space by default if I were you, though

Search Front-End Errors Messages ;)

------------------------------

I'm using this hack. But it show a error message for each character wrong in the nickname. If user enter 3 symbols, then he will see this:

Username may only contain Letters, Numbers and Space
Username may only contain Letters, Numbers and Space
Username may only contain Letters, Numbers and Space

Is it a bug?
Ideas to solve it?
